CPI-613 plus hydroxychloroquine with chemo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called CPI-613 (devimistat) combined with hydroxychloroquine along with either 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine chemo. It’s for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and slow cancer growth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06026735Recruiting
Lung cancer with brain spread: a surgical study
This trial looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain or the membranes around the brain. It aims to learn more about patients who are already scheduled for brain surgery, such as removing a tumor or placing a drain.
TaipeiAges 20–90 - NCT03742687Recruiting
Testing a shorter, stronger radiation schedule for lung cancer
This trial studies a different way to deliver radiation to people with locally advanced, non-operable non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by aiming to treat the tumor effectively with a different radiation timing and dose pattern.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05550961Recruiting
Real-world study of innovative treatments for lung cancer
This study collects real-world information about people with lung cancer who get newer kinds of cancer drugs. It aims to understand how these innovative therapies work in everyday care and help future research.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04790253Recruiting
Check brain radiation timing or frequent MRI scans for SCLC
This study compares two ways to follow and treat small-cell lung cancer in the brain: preventive brain radiation versus close monitoring with MRI scans and treatment only if needed. It may help people avoid unnecessary brain treatment or choose the safer timing strategy.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06126406RecruitingPhase 1
CEA-targeting CAR-T cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR-T) designed to attack cancer cells that make a protein called CEA. It may be an option for people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, gastric, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05258448Recruiting
Chemo-radiotherapy for advanced, non-surgical lung cancer
This trial studies treatment that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help improve cure chances for patients who can complete the study tests, including heart scans.
